PositiveThe Virginian PilotGretchen Berg’s newest work of fiction, The Operator, is a hilarious novel recounting Vivian’s trials and tribulations of carrying the great burden of \'knowing people.\' ... The Operator is a comedic, fast read, with a host of characters that could easily spring out of your parents’ or grandparents’ stories about growing up in 1950s America. And from fiction comes a sobering reminder of how Facebook and social media aren’t the first time people have thrown privacy to the wind for technology, all for the sake of knowing what’s going on out there.
